cuts in national defense. back to the old economics of high interest rates, high inflation, and the old politics of high unemployment. now the road of george bush is the road to the future, and it comes down to this: an america second to none, with visions of greatness, economic expansion, tough laws, tough judges, strong values, respect for the flag and our institutions. george bush will lead us to the 21st century, a century that will be of hope and peace. ronald reagan and george bush saved america from decline. we changed america. michael dukakis fought us every step of the way. it's not that they're not sympathetic; it's simply that they will take america backwards. george bush has the experience, and with me, the future, a future committed to our family, a future committed to the freedom. thank you, good night, and god bless you.
